Beach resorts & islands
Your kitchen is at the other end of the sea. Your recipes need to be here.
Beach restaurant, self-service, room service, all-inclusive: every delivery comes by boat or plane, every kilo of water and every kW costs more. CalcMenu optimises your portions, reduces waste and calculates true food cost — including transport. Pricing adapted to isolation, for islands, overseas territories and seasonal coastal resorts.
A solution built for your sector
CalcMenu scales to your operation, from a few dozen to several thousand covers. The goal stays the same: one source of truth for recipes, allergens, and costs.
Extreme seasonality, supply by boat, expensive energy and water. Pricing adapted to isolation and season length.
Hospitality & restaurants
Hotels, casinos, fine dining, cruises — manage recipe sheets, food cost and allergens for all outlets from one tool.
What your teams deal with every day
Supply by boat or plane makes every ingredient unpredictable
The boat is delayed, the plane couldn't take off, the fresh fish doesn't arrive. You adapt the menu day by day without knowing if your costs hold. CalcMenu calculates true food cost — including transport — and suggests substitutions when a product is missing.
Water and electricity cost 3 to 5 times more than on the mainland
Desalination, generators, fuel import: every litre of water used in the kitchen and every kW of refrigeration has a hidden cost that your recipe specs don't reflect. CalcMenu integrates energy and water costs into the true food cost of every recipe.
Seasonal teams leave with the know-how every autumn
You recruit, train, waste time. Next year, you start over. The recipes are in the head of the chef who left in September. CalcMenu centralises recipe specs, portions, costs — your new teams are operational in days, not weeks.
All-inclusive hides the true cost in a context where every resource is expensive
All-you-can-eat buffet on an island where water is desalinated and electricity is diesel-generated: the guest eats without counting, but you don't know what each meal actually costs. Between waste, transport and energy, true food cost can be double what you think. CalcMenu counts portions, integrates logistics and energy costs, and shows you true profitability per guest and per stay.
Special taxes and local regulations complicate traceability
Overseas territories, islands, free zones: every product has a different tax status, specific import rules, and traceability that must satisfy both the mainland and local authorities. CalcMenu documents origin, tax status and journey of every batch — including products imported by boat or plane — so your audits are impeccable on both sides of the ocean.
Pricing adapted to isolation and seasonality.
For beach resorts, islands and overseas territories, CalcMenu offers pricing adapted to your season length and site isolation. Whether you open 4 months in summer on a Greek island or 12 months on a tropical coast, you only pay for what you use. Centralised recipe specs, integrated logistics and energy costs, traceability compliant with local and mainland regulations.
